I didn't realize this wasn't widely known yet, so I want to make it widely known!

You can get vegan Girl Scout cookies! Here is how.

You have buy from a Girl Scout selling ABC Bakers cookies to get vegan cookies. The other bakery some troops use, Little Brownie Bakers, does not have vegan cookies.

The ones that are vegan are: Thin Mints, Thanks-a-Lots, Peanut Butter Patties, Shout-Outs, and Lemonades. You can double-check ingredients here: http://www.abcsmartcookies.com/cookies.asp If I've made a mistake about any of those, someone please let me know so I don't go on passing on misinformation -- but I'm pretty certain all the ingredients on those lists are vegan.

If you go to http://www.girlscoutcookies.org, there's a field for you to enter your (USA) zip code and find out if your local GSUSA council is partnered with ABC Bakers. If not, you can go to this Facebook page (http://www.facebook.com/pages/My-Daught ... 8664525198) which is set up to connect people who don't have a local source for ABC Bakers cookies with the cookies they want. I have not checked this out myself, but I would imagine that if you are outside the US and would pay for shipping, someone on that FB page would hook you up with cookies.

I am not affiliated with Girl Scouts or ABC Bakers in any way. I am only affiliated with veganism...and with you having cookies. :)

I went to the website but I can't figure out how to tell if my local chapter is partnered with ABC bakers. Where on the website can I find that? I can find a place to buy cookies, but it doesn't say who made them. Thank you for the information CQ!

I had to get them on eBay. The area where my parents live used to sell ABC and they switched to Little Brownie last year. :( I found an eBay seller who was selling them for $3.50 with $2.95 shipping but he/she is out of Lemonades. :( But I ordered the other 4 vegan varieties.

I couldn't find the bakery information for my local chapter either. it looks like the program is over now anyway, they had an end date of Feb 24.

You cannot begin to know how relieved I am to think I can eventually, someday, havesome of these again. I'm not even sure why I've always ordered them in abundance, butit's sorta traditional, I guess. Thanks for the good news Choirqueer!

Is there anyone with access to the vegan ones who would be willing to do a trade with me? I would like some thin mints and peanut butter patties (they were tagalongs back in my day) but I'm in Portland where there are only little whatever bakers. I would be happy to send money or send goods. Send me a pm. Thanks!

This zip code finder will give you a local council: http://www.girlscouts.org/councilfinder/ And at least for my area (Northern CA), the council brags about Samoas/Tagacraps/etc. prominently, so they clearly don't have ABC. If you're lucky enough to have a council that buys ABC, the council pages I've looked at have zip code searches for local booths.

When I put my zip in, it took me to the site for my local Girl Scouts council, which had a link that showed where the cookies were from.

If it doesn't say on the local council website, you could contact them directly to ask. If you're able to see which kinds of cookies they're selling, check if they include Shout-Outs; those are only sold by ABC, so you will know that you're buying from ABC.

My guess is they are not. I am basing this on the fact that when I livedin Springfield IL they were not and now in Milwaukee they are still not. Unless Chicago is in a special bubble, you never know...
